“Whole“;
2． Present a vial of control to the sample probe so that the tip is well into the vial, and press
the aspirate key. The System Status area will display “Running” and the analyzer will
start aspirating control;
3． When you hear the beep and the sample probe is out of the vial, remove the control vial.
The sample probe will retract into the analyzer and the analysis progress will be
displayed on the screen;
4． When the analysis is finished, the sample probe is replaced, the analysis result is
displayed on the screen, and a message box pops up to confirm the validity of the
